DNA-V: Empowering Individuals to Thrive

The DNA-V framework (Discoverer, Noticer, Advisor, and Values) is a cutting-edge, evidence-based course grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Positive Psychology. Designed to cultivate resilience, enhance self-awareness, and build psychological flexibility, DNA-V empowers individuals to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and purpose.

By integrating principles of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), DNA-V ensures that every participant feels respected, valued, and empowered. Each course is delivered with cultural sensitivity and an emphasis on inclusivity, creating a safe space where participants can explore their unique strengths and experiences.

DNA-V is tailored to meet the specific needs of adults and youth through two distinct courses: Adult DNA-V and Youth DNA-V.

What is DNA-V?

At its core, DNA-V focuses on helping individuals understand the dynamic interplay between their internal experiences (thoughts, emotions, and values) and their external behaviours. The model is simple, practical, and strengths-focused, making it accessible for participants of all backgrounds and identities.

  • Discoverer: Encourages exploration, creativity, and a growth mindset to overcome challenges and discover new possibilities.
  • Noticer: Enhances mindfulness and awareness of emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations, promoting emotional regulation.
  • Advisor: Helps participants identify and manage their inner self-talk, replacing unhelpful narratives with supportive ones.
  • Values: Guides individuals in identifying what truly matters to them and aligning their actions with their core values.

Through interactive activities, reflective discussions, and culturally adaptive teaching methods, DNA-V equips participants with tools to lead more fulfilling, balanced lives.
